Hi Mark, it sounds a bit like you are misusing the alternate gatekeeper concept to allow calls between your two sites while you should make those two gatekeepers neighbors. Alternates are meant as 'backup' if one of them isn't reachable. Also, I would suggest to stop forwarding RAS messages between the two gatekeepers. Endpoints will connect to the alternate gatekeeper automatically if the primary gatekeeper goes down. Lastly, you should either configure GnuGk to use routed mode (GKRouted=1) or remove all those config switches referring to features that only exist in routed mode.

We are finding that the "alternate" Gatekeeper can send URQ messages direct to the "main" site's endpoints, causing the relevant calls to be temporally dropped ; as each Gatekeeper knows about all the endpoints on the other site, the dropped calls can be just between endpoints on the 1 site. > Experiments on a test platform have shown that if an "alternate" Gatekeeper is actually shut-down then all the endpoints on the "main" site have URQs sent to them. > > Can you advise on any setup errors in the 2 Gatekeeper.ini files that might cause the problem, cut & pasted below, any help would be appreciated. > > =========================================================================================================== > [Gatekeeper::Main] > Fourtytwo=42 > Name=OpenH323GK_C > Home=192.168.1.1 > TimeToLive=60 > AlternateGKs=192.169.1.1:1719:false:120:OpenH323GK_D > Sendto=192.169.1.1:1719 > EndpointIDSuffix=_gk1 > SkipForwards=192.169.1.1 > > [LogFile] > Filename="C:\\progra~1\\mcts\\log\\VoiceC~1\\GateKeeper\\gk_log.txt" > Rotate=Daily > RotateTime=02:00 > > [RoutedMode] > GKRouted=0 > H245Routed=0 > CallSignalPort=1721 > CallSignalHandlerNumber=20 > RtpHandlerNumber=10 > RemoveH245AddressOnTunneling=0 > AcceptNeighborsCalls=1 > AcceptUnregisteredCalls=1 > SupportNATedEndpoints=1 > DropCallsByReleaseComplete=1 > ConnectTimeout=30 > > [RasSrv::ARQFeatures] > ArjReasonRouteCallToSCN=0 > ArjReasonRouteCallToGatekeeper=1 > CallUnregisteredEndpoints=1 > RemoveTrailingChar=# > > [RasSrv::RRQAuth] > default=confirm > > [GkStatus::Auth] > rule=allow > > [Gatekeeper::Auth] > default=allow > > [CTI::Agents] > VirtualQueue=CC > CTI_Timeout=120 > ======================================================================================================================================================= > > [Gatekeeper::Main] > Fourtytwo=42 > Name=OpenH323GK_D > Home=192.169.1.1 > TimeToLive=60 > AlternateGKs=192.168.1.1:1719:false:120:OpenH323GK_C > Sendto=192.168.1.1:1719 > EndpointIDSuffix=_gk2 > SkipForwards=192.168.1.1 > > [LogFile] > Filename="C:\\progra~1\\mcts\\log\\VoiceC~1\\GateKeeper\\gk_log.txt" > Rotate=Daily > RotateTime=02:00 > > [RoutedMode] > GKRouted=0 > H245Routed=0 > CallSignalPort=1721 > CallSignalHandlerNumber=20 > RtpHandlerNumber=10 > RemoveH245AddressOnTunneling=0 > AcceptNeighborsCalls=1 > AcceptUnregisteredCalls=1 > SupportNATedEndpoints=1 > DropCallsByReleaseComplete=1 > ConnectTimeout=30 > > [RasSrv::ARQFeatures] > ArjReasonRouteCallToSCN=0 > ArjReasonRouteCallToGatekeeper=1 > CallUnregisteredEndpoints=1 > RemoveTrailingChar=# > > [RasSrv::RRQAuth] > default=confirm > > [GkStatus::Auth] > rule=allow > > [Gatekeeper::Auth] > default=allow > > [CTI::Agents] > VirtualQueue=CC > CTI_Timeout=120 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Own the Future-Intel® Level Up Game Demo Contest 2013 Rise to greatness in Intel's independent game demo contest.
